Aim Gastrostomy feeding tube is sometimes useful in pediatric colorectal malformations Gastrostomy Caecostomy (antegrade colonic enema) Aim of this study : to report 3 cases of unusual use of gastrostomy feeding button in the treatment of complex colorectal malformations.
Case 1 = CIPO Antenatal megacystis + pseudo-hirschsprung Failure of rectal washouts Day 4 : ombilical laparotomy, stadged colonic biopsies, left transverse colostomy, rectal succion biopsies
Biopsies : no HD Colostomy : effective Obstructive symptoms adhésions? CIPO? 3 months : laparotomy + transanal approach compressive adhesion section Left colectomy + ERPT
Numerous intestinal obstructions, failure of enteral feeding, parenteral nutrition Septicemia, pyelonephritis, megacystis, gastric distension and vomitis 2.5 year old: laparotomy, adhesiolysis, jejunal plication, gastrojejunostomy, buttom vesicostomy Button vesicostomy (Fontan s procedure) Vesicostomy : used by the mother and removed 8 months later 4 year old : parenteral nutrition, no urological problem
Case 2 = familial total colonic aganglionosis (brother = TCA) Day 2 : laparotomy, staged ileocolic biopsies, ileostomy 10 months : ileocoloprotectomy by laparotomy + transanal approach
2 year old Post-operative enterocolitis Gastrostomy for enteral feeding (12 months) Ileostomy closure (14 months) Intestinal obstructive symptoms Distal ileum dilatation No anastomotic stenosis, No residual HD Transit time 7 mn! adhesive obstruction? functional obstruction? Foley s ileostomy (Fontan s procedure) Parent s choice avoiding cutaneous ileostomy
Button ileostomy used par parents for intestinal decompression (less often for irrigations) and removed 3 years later 5.5 year old No recurrence of abdominal distension
Case 3 = prenatal cloacal malformation with hydrocolpos (gemellary pregnancy) B RV LV R RV LV 29 weeks / 1200 gr Fetal MRI (29 weeks) Neonatal sonography (29 weeks) Neonatal perineum (29 weeks)
Day 1 :echo guided vesical Foley catheter insertion Day 3 : colostomy + cystoscopy + genitoscopy + endoscopy-guided vesical Foley catheter Persistant hydrocolpos : left vaginal drainage (echo-guided Foley catheter) 1 month : endoscopy-guided vesical and left vaginal Foley catheter 2.5 months : compressive hydrocolpos with anuria Button left vaginostomy (Fontan s procedure) R RV B LV
8.5 months : laparotomy + PSARP (rectal and vaginal pull through) + vaginostomy closure 6 months later Proximal colostomy Distal colostomy RV RU LU R LV Button left vaginostomy B
Results Button placement was organized for each patient aiming to relieve important symptoms using an easier surgical procedure and avoiding a stoma or a less confortable probe. Procedures were safe and effective. No specific complications were noticed. Button were removed after few months (8, 36, 6) of successful management.
Discussion Button vesicostomy well reported Button vesicostomy: 13 years of experience. Bradshaw CJ, et al. J Pediatr Urol. 2014 Button cystostomy for bladder drainage: which children can benefit from this device? Lacreuse I, et al. J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Mic-Key button placement for continent vesicostomy. Lacreuse I, et al. J Laparoendosc Adv Surg Tech A. 2010 New application of the gastrostomy button for clinical and urodynamic evaluation before vesicostomy closure. Clinical trial. de Badiola FI, et al. J Urol. 1996 Button ileostomy : no description Button vaginostomy : no publication but mentionned in rare papers
Conclusion Atypical use of tube gastrostomy button in the field of complex colorectal malformations are few described but should be considered as interesting alternatives
